I was sailing last evening on my Radial with wind around 12 knots, I guess. I weigh around 158 lbs or 72 k, more if you include my gear, which puts me at the top end of the Radial weights. I had the cunningham and outhaul cranked on tight, the vang tighter than two blocked, traveller a little loose, hiked as hard as I could, and I was still having trouble holding the boat down. Is this just going to happen at that wind speed? I suppose there were 15 k gusts. Any advice?
